This invention relates to receptacles, especially those having sliding elements. Itrefers also to receptacles with sliding covers and with other mechanical features not heretofore used in combination with each other in a single device.

It further concerns combinations comprising such receptacles with other means, which, when used together, are mutually interdependent in effecting results only possible by such combina- H.. tions.

This invention is an improvement on the inventions described in co-pending U. S. patent applications; Serial Number 623,947, led July 22, 1932, and any and all divisional `applications iiled 1;, therefrom by Nina Skidelsky as inventor, and

this case is a true divisional application of U. S.

patent application Serial Number 658,700, filed by the present applicants on February 27, 1933,

which eventuated in Patent No. 2,013,485, dated of September 3, 1935.

YIn one aspect our invention includes a sliding cover receptacle. In still another aspect it considers coin receptacles of the sliding cover type and. various features of such receptacles.

'I'he objects of our invention are primarily to simplify, lighten, add to the attractiveness, increase the convenience and reduce the cost of devices of this character.

Other objects of our present invention are well 30 tions, it being the purpose of this present application to cover and protect new mechanical features and combinations not claimed in said previous patent applications but constituting improvements on the Skidelsky and Skidelsky-Bary inventions above referred to.

Other objects, features and uses will appear in the following specification and drawing, Wherein, as a non-limiting example, an embodiment of the invention is described which comprises a coin-holder.

In the drawing;

Figure 1 is a perspective View of our receptacle in its closed position;

Figure 2 is a similar perspective view of our receptacle in its open position;

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken at right angles through the center of the receptacle shown in perspective in Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a view in perspective of the spring mounted hinged end of the sliding cover of our receptacle.

In this drawing a cover member I in Figure 1 slides in or on receptacle 2. When our device is stated in the above mentioned patent applica-v used as a coin receptacle; the coins, designated by numerals 4 and 4 in our present drawing, are shown placed flatwise in the receptacle 2 in Figure 2, being disclosed to view by the sliding back of sliding lcover I and its spring hinged end 5, the spring 6 holding the end 5 down over the end of the receptacle .when the cover is in its closed position as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows how the cover I slides in the sides of the receptacle 2 and how the coins 4f, 4, 4a, and 4b, t into their respective positions, coins 4 and 4b being held preferably by scalloped spring' retainers indicated in` section at 2a and 2b in Figure 3, and which are more completely shown and described in our said Patent No. 2,013,485. Coins 4a lying side-by-side in between coins 4 and 4b are not held in position by springs but are free to slide, if they are small enough, such as dimes and pennies. As shown in Fig. 1', panel I Will preferably be provided with Vsomeform of ornament or decoration.

On each sliding cover of each receptacle device and on the under side of said cover is a stop means, which, in the present instance is a small'Y bit of solder fastened to the under side' of-the cover and designated in Figure 2 by the numeral 33. It will also be noted that the sliding space for coins 4a, is made possible by the channels on either side of the receptacle 2 in which the dec-V orative panel I slides.

While our invention has been described as a coinholder it is within the scope of this invention to be used as a receptacle for any item it is desired to insert or remove quickly, and yet hold from falling out when the cover of the device ls slid back, thereby disclosing its contents.

Our invention may also embody any equivalent structure falling Within the scope of the accom-V panying claims.

We claim: Y

l. A receptacle comprising, in combination: a member having a side opening and an end opening; closure means slidably associated with one rst named means; and spring means reactingV between the respective closure means to urge one of them toward closed position.

3. In a device ofthe class described: a recep-r tacle having a side opening and an end opening; closurermeans for one of said openings slidably associated with said receptacle; closure means for the remaining opening pivotally mounted on said first named means; whereby the second named means is moved to closed position when the first named means is moved to closed position.

4. In a device of the class described: a receptacle open at a side and an end; a closure for said open side slidably associated with said receptacle;

means carried by said closure to close saidvopen walls formed with longitudinal grooves; a slidable closure forsaid open side; means carried by said closure to enter and slide in said grooves; and a closure for said open end pivotally mounted on said sliding closure; Y l Y Y 7. In a device of the class described: a receptacle open at a side and an end comprising a bottom, side walls and an end wall; said side walls formed with longitudinal grooves; a slidable closure for said open side; means carried -by said closure to enter and slide in said grooves; a

closure for said open end pivotally mounted on said sliding closure; and spring means reacting between said closures to urge said end closure toward closed position.

8. In a device of the class described: a receptacle having an open side and end comprising a bottom wall, side walls and an end wall; said sideY and spring means walls formed with exterior longitudinal grooves;

a slidable closure for said open side formed with marginal flanges overlapping said side walls:

means carried by said flanges entering and slidl ing in said grooves; a closure for said open end;l

pvoted upon said slidable closure; and spring means reacting between said closures to urge the end closure to closed position.

9. In a device of the class described: a receptacle having an open side and end comprising a bottom wall, side walls and an end wall; said side walls formed with exterior longitudinal grooves; a slidable closure for said open side formed with marginal anges overlapping said side walls and Aend wall; the edges of said side wall lapping flanges inturned and entering said grooves; a closure for said open end hinged upon an edgeof said slidable closure; a spring carried by the pintle of said hinge, the ends of said spring reacting respectively on said slidable and end closures to urge said end closureV to closing position.

a closure for said open side, slidably associated with said body member; a closure Afor Vsaid open end pivotally mounted on said first named closure and overlying the edges of the side walls of the bodyfmember when `in open position; spring means" reacting between said closure members to urge said end closure to closing positionf whereby impingement of said end v4closur'erupon the corners of said side walls overcomes rsaid.

spring Vaction when said side closure is moved to open position. v
